Introduction: Because of Covid-19 I am equipped to teach online, as well as in my studio. I am only teaching online right now! And I am only accepting new students who live within 10 miles of my studio in N. Windham, CT. I love helping students, from age five through adult, learn to play and enjoy the piano. Adults and I especially work well together. Because I started learning viola as an adult, I understand the unique difficulties that adults face. I am comfortable teaching any level or age, from beginner to advanced. I have an eclectic approach and look for what works for each student. I teach in N. Windham, CT, near Storrs UConn. I have a BS in Piano Performance/Music Education from UConn and 30+ years experience. I love teaching new students and seeing their progress, and helping transfer students continue to progress.

As an adult I started lessons with Barbara and she has tailored my lessons perfectly to match my ability. I’m learning more than I ever imagined and having fun. I love my piano lessons!

As an beginner student and an adult I was concerned with learning a new musical instrument. Barbara is patient, kind and very knowledgable. She has made me feel at ease and I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with her.

My children (ages 6 and 7) have been taking piano lessons with Mrs. Glenister for 6 months. They have had a great experience and look forward to lessons each week! Mrs. Glenister has a very developmentally appropriate approach for each child and strives to make piano a fun experience! With child-friendly motivators/rewards available for consistent practice and song choices that are familiar and fun, she teaches with a positive attitude that has made the experience a great one for us. She would likely also be a great teacher for an older student or adult! Her prices are extremely reasonable as well!

It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be under the tutelage of Barbara Glenister for almost two years. She is a most patient teacher with decades of experience with students at all levels. If you are contemplating learning to play the piano, restarting after many years, or in search of a new teacher, just put yourself into Barbara's capable hands, and prepare to experience the world of music. You will find your lessons to be encouraging, constructive and challenging in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Quite frankly, I give her ten stars!!! Carol H
